Micro-Simulation Modelling of Vehicular Emission from Road Traffic of Mixed Flow Situation
Abstract: This paper describes a new approach to microscopic modelling of vehicular emission from road traffic of mixed flow situation, where traffic stream comprises both motorised and non-motorised vehicles. The proposed model can represent detailed mixed traffic situations, such as speed fluctuation of traffic flow, lack of lane discipline and different vehicle categories. The model library is also facilitated with purposely developed vehicular emission model in order to be able to …

HUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT IN LIS
Abstract: An essential aspect of library administration is personnel management. An older term sometimes used for this activity is “staffing,” but personal management” better reflects the many components of this function. Personnel management typically encompasses, at the very least, recruitment and classification of employees; salary administration; training and staff development; performance evaluation; personnel policies, including grievance procedures; and possibly unionization.

Library Resources and Collection Development: A Study
Abstract: The selection activities of the public, academic and large special libraries will also vary depending upon their sizes. In small public libraries, most of the librarians are involved in the selection procedure. As the library system grows, adds branches and expands services, selection is usually delegated to the departmental heads or branch library supervisors. A large metropolitan public library system frequently assigns the selection activities to a committee composed of …
